In today's episode, we're diving into the world of 'nesting' during and after a divorce – a journey that reshapes the very essence of home and family. Picture this: instead of children shuffling between two homes, they stay put while the parents rotate in and out. It's a concept that's as intriguing as it is challenging.

We kick off with an open and honest discussion about why some families are turning to nesting. As we delve deeper, we address the common issues that bubble to the surface in nesting situations. How do you maintain personal space in a shared home? What about new relationships? And let's not forget the financial implications. It's a balancing act of boundaries, respect, and self-discovery.

Whether you're contemplating this arrangement, are in the thick of it, or simply curious about this alternative, join us for a conversation that's as real as it gets.

In today's insightful episode, we delve into the complex world of child support, exploring how it's calculated and addressing a provocative question: What if we abolished traditional child support and moved towards splitting all expenses for our children 50/50? Our discussion isn't just about numbers; it's about the real-life implications and challenges of such a drastic shift. We examine the potential hurdles in high-conflict relationships, where eliminating child support could escalate tensions and add layers of stress. The conversation also turns to how, even in amicable situations, this approach demands increased communication with your ex-partner and a constant alignment in decision-making – a task easier said than done.
